The Kentucky Derby is discussed — who’da thunk it? — with Ed DeRosa of Brisnet and John Scheinman of Kentucky Confidential. Topics include the Derby pace, Bodemeister, Hansen, I’ll Have Another, Done Talking and others. The show also includes a rare audio clip of Creative Cause commenting on one of his workouts (or “practice” sessions, as he calls them).

In the handicapping segment, host Derek Simon discloses what trait, shared by seven potential Derby starters this year, has produced zero winners and no second-place finishers in 20 years. Other shocking stats are also discussed.
